Geeze, I didn't know if I should just keep my mouth shut about what she had, or tell her the truth? Anyway, I decided to tell her that she didn't have a vintage HC at all, but a modern reproduction of the original Singer model 15 with a Sphinx decal - probably made in either Taiwan or China. What do you guys think? Do you think I should not have burst her bubble?[ATTACH=CONFIG]370098[/ATTACH]

You are in a no win - if you tell her she is going to be mad at herself and maybe you... If you don't tell her and she finds out she is going to be mad at you for not telling her...

Had to help put an alternator in our son's car this afternoon - got nothing done today... bummer.
